Milestones

One of the things we miss in Kenya is being a part of Milestones. This year while we are back in the U.S, I am so excited to not only be a part of the day-to-day life, but to experience all the milestones along the way - Birthdays, Weddings, Funerals, Anniversaries, etc.

The first week we were home, we attended a funeral for my Great Uncle. While it was a sad occasion, it was neat to actually be a part of it. We were able to go to the visitation and the funeral. When Jeff's grandma and my grandpa passed away, during the last 4 years, we attended their funeral via skype. Yes, we are thankful for technology and the ability to be a part of a Milestone from afar, but it is so much better to be there in person and give tangible condolences.

We have been able to celebrate two birthdays, one anniversary, and enjoy seeing a new nephew, born since we were last here! And this weekend, we will attend a wedding! So fun to actually be here and be a part of it all.
